Speaking of GRAPHICS, I must say:
This is one of the best looking 3DS games I've seen. The art style is executed beautifully, and will look even better in-motion and 3D. Game Freak have come a long way in graphics, from the GBA games being graphically outclassed by many other games on the same system, from the DS games starting with Diamond/Pearl which just looked like the GBA games in 3D, with the graphics getting slowly better with Platinum and HG&SS, all the way to the Unova games which pushed the DS to its limits, and now we have this, which looks f*cking amazing.

This looks amazing.
I hope they keep the day/night cycle; would be really nice exploring at night with those graphics, in my opinion.

The game did? Every time we've seen older Pokemon the models look pretty similar to the Pokedex 3D ones.
Obviously edited a bit and some stances changed, but it'd be stupid to let those meshes go to waste and just straight up create 649++ new ones

Ofc they look alike its the same pokemon, the resources don't belong to them they belong to Nintendo/Creatures Inc., I'm sure Gamefreak want to make their own models their own style.

They are making them anyway, atleast the textures if they used the old "skeletons" from Pokedex 3D, so the works is there anyway, this are models done by gamefreak from scratch.

Yeah I wasn't too impressed with the initial trailer, but now everything looks...nice and clean. Lively.
I think they improved the lighting engine, too, everything seems brighter.

I just noticed the shadows, too. It'll be neat to see them sway as the time of day changes.

Yea i agree. The trailer did look quite 'unfinished'. The new images revealed last week and the footage probably look like the best on the 3ds. It will be interesting to see if the whole game is as well polished as these pictures. It would be cool to have every detail finely designed. Also i think the trainers movement will be interesting in 3d.

Yes, this does look quite shockingly stupendous. Notice the item in the top left corner, the well-executed character models and the differing terrain.

Notice how small and modest my signature is. Yay! You can see more than one post at a time! Isn't that just wonderful?

from what I've seen, the 3DS has a smoother screen in a way so the jagged edges basically seem nonexistent during gameplay. at least when compared to seeing it on a screen and whatnot. have you see the first trailer in the eShop? it looks much better on the 3DS's screen than on my phone or laptop.

looking at this screenshot
I'm amazed by the graphics
Just look at the background, the trees and beams of light coming through the tops
And the characters detail is amazing aswell
I'm loving all the light and shadow!

Also
I'm wondering if the light will kind of shimmer from above

Am I the only one that finds the graphics to be glorified BW graphics? and I mean that in a good way. I loved the graphics from BW(2) for a DS Pokemon game but I feel like, aside from the models, the graphics in XY I just more life-sized versions of the BW graphics. I love them anyway because it has that Pokemon feel but ya.

I am not sure what it is.. but it feels as though something is off with how the girl looks in the background.

In the sense that BW's graphics were glorified DP graphics were glorified RS graphics, I suppose

I have seen mixed reactions for the map of the Kalos region, and after looking it over for a moment I realized the region map is painted much like Claude monet's paintings, I'm kinda impressed~ French art work to go with the french related region.

Claude Monet? I didn't get that impression. badum-tssh

Do we have any examples of the more dynamic camera angle outside Lumiose city? So far it looks like Gen 6's version of Castelia city(i.e. that one massive city with audacious camera angles).

Yeah, I'd like different camera angles for the whole region. However it seems that in the fountain scene in the trailer, the camera only switched when you sat on the bench, so there may be no camra control outside of Lumiosd city.

I see no point of limiting the camera control to just one city. Besides, we saw various camera movement in the routes.
The trailer probably utilized the default settings though.

Okay I getcha. That part in the trailer where it said there were "Parental Controls" probably meant not only limiting 3D but maybe restricting certain camera movements to prevent dizziness. I do kinda get dizzy on the bus when the camera angles switch in SkyarrowBridge, so maybe the camera views can be controlled via settings.

However,Camera controls can also be used to take note of things. There could be a part in the game where changing your view can show the player different things and/or hints to puzzles in gyms or caves.
